Under 18 and vaping
Not only should you not fly with a disposable vape, but it's also against the law for you to use one in general. While possession of a disposable vape is not illegal for those under 18, it is illegal to purchase them. The TSA may confiscate your device if they suspect you obtained it illegally.
TSA is not allowed to pull out your vape in front of your parents. If it is detected by the scanner, they will ask you to remove it from your bag and take it through the scanner separately. They will not open it and will not show it to your parents.
Most airlines allow you to take between 15 to 20 disposable devices, so long as they are safely sealed and stored in your hand luggage, but it is worth checking before you fly.
Smokers may be pleased to learn that you can now carry what the TSA calls “common lighters” on board. In other words, a plastic BIC lighter is acceptable, but leave the butane or torch lighters like your dad's old Zippo in your checked baggage, or even at home.
Can vapes be detected in airport security? Yup, it most definitely can be detected. Airlines do allow vape devices, provided you are not underaged and follow the rules on how it is packed, especially the one regarding no lithium batteries in checked in luggage.
The fine for smoking or vaping on a flight can range from $2 to $4,000, and by itself is not a jailable offense. However, it can quickly escalate if a person is found to have tampered with a smoke detector, or failed to comply with a crew member's instruction, such as to stop smoking.
E-cigarettes and Airport SecurityFor both domestic and international flights, travellers are not permitted to store e-cigarettes and batteries in their checked hold baggage. Instead, your vaping device will need to stay inside your carry-on baggage at all times.
